1 lb. Green Beans, cleaned

1/2 Onion, diced

1 lb. Mushrooms, sliced

12 Oz. Bean Sprouts

1 Tbsp. Thyme, chopped

2 Garlic Cloves, minced

1 Cup Cashews

2 Cups Vegetable Stock

Cut green beans in half or thirds, depending on how long they are. Boil them for about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Blend cashews with a little stock in a high speed blender until smooth, set aside.

Meanwhile, sauté onions, mushrooms and thyme with a little salt in a large pan to get some caramelization. Add bean sprouts and wilt down a bit. Add garlic and cook while stirring for another minute.
